Breed Limit Show
Judge : Amélie Chaine ( Des Terres d'Armor )
Firstly I would like to thanks the Northern counties SBTC committee for inviting me to judges in March. And because of the snow and awful weather making my trip/ flight impossible and dangerous for exhibitors aswell at this moment, inviting me a second time in April. The hospitality shown to myself and a friend travelling with me was wonderful.
I feel very privileged to accept and for the confidence, support brought by each exhibitors who enterred their dogs and took all my decisions in a sporting manner.
Thanks to my ring stewards who organised the ring perfectly .
Overall quality was excellent and i was very pleased with most of the exhibits. There were a few faults, mouths, misplaced teeth, structure...I found quite a few with dirty teeth. Toplines were ok in general .
I truly enjoyed my day !
